Hi ! just being curious but did you buy it from sfflab? did you choose the normal or the quick delivery method? I'm being impatient after 4 months of part picking ?
Why not just write your questions and maybe someone can answer them directly? That way someone else that might have the same questions as you, get the answer directly from here. After all, this is a forum for everyone
And to your question, is there a specific 2080 Super you have in mind? In other words, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte and an reference or AIB?...
how hot the 9900ks wil get in this case and with kind of cooler?
the 2080 is a founders edition.
is this case recommended with this setup?
i9 9900 ks
air cooler ?
asrock z390 itx
32 gb ram gskillz
rtx 2080 founders edition
sf750 psu
Well I can tell you right away, is this case is recommended for a specific setup? Absolutely, you can put an 3950X inside of it, if you'd like. In other words, your setup will do just fine, but when it comes to temperatures, that comes down to the cooling setup and configuration you might have/use and any kind of overclocks, if you might do that.
As for the question how hot the 9900KS will get in this case, is a bit difficult to answer. I don't have the case yet and I have an 3700X. I know for a fact that the 9900KS is a quite hot CPU and even now when Intel has been hit will all of this security vulnerabilities, the security patches for them are impacting the performance.
To answer your question somewhat, I have an Strix 1080 Ti, 32GB RAM and an SF750W as well and that will all go just fine inside the NCASE M1.
Other than that, someone else that might have the 9900KS, will probably give you a better answer.
Hi,
have a look at the YouTube OptimumTech videos. Ncase seems to be the best in case of heat control. For small ITX cases, of course. But with your setup, it seems to be necessary to undervolt at least the GPU. For the CPU he (and myself) went with a Kraken X52 240mm AIO.

This is great! Do you know, by chance, if Noctua NF-A14 or NF-A15 would fit as well?
NF-A14 PWM chromax.black.swap
NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap
I'm trying to assemble component for a future v6.1 build during holiday shopping season - before getting a case.
Thanks!
Tried with newly received v6.1 and found the answer:
- the NF-A14 PWM would not fit: plastic clips for side panel mount are in a way;
- the NF-A15 HS-PWM fits just fine - thanks to fan's frame shape.
However, 25mm fans are way too thick to fit under the graphic card (Sapphire Nitro+ Rx 5700 Xt)
.Debating if I should remove card's fans altogether and put either NF-A15 HS-PWM or NF-F12 PWM for bottom intake.
Any thoughts/advise? Thanks!
The plan was for 12pm PST/8pm GMT, but there may be a bit of a delay as I need to confirm the shipping schedule with w360 and it's currently 3am where he is.
